Changes:
* Added a Welcome post to EG (allows for a custom responses, I'm suggesting an event bases on the time and past event history)
* The post to EG now has 4 objects in the payload('spoken string',deviceid, sessionid, requestId)
* Rewrote some of the code, it should look much cleaner

Sorry about that. The type LITERAL never made it past the US. Amazon is trying to remove it completely. They recommend a Catchall type with a random generated list of words. I will need to work on that.

Thanks, I have had this feature for about a year in my personal version through the use of different skill for kitchen and bedrooms but the with deviceid being supported by Amazon it is much easier to manage.

I am also going to use the same skill code I share so I don't hold out on forums members. Not sure what other features Amazon with add.

I'm working on cleaning up the my EG Python code I use so I can share this as well. There is just a lot of code that is very customized to my home.

I'm hoping that Amazon will release the Voice ID stuff soon. That would be another great addition, to know who is speaking the command for even more customization. For example, I'd like to limit what zones my kids control (I don't really want them turning the fireplace on or off, messing with the thermostat, etc.) It could also be useful for personalized responses.
